Here’s an example new introduction to Jar Jar, where he actually has character!
It’s not perfect, but I think it demonstrates the potential of using Clone Wars lines!
Eddie, you are wrong. It IS perfect. That was simply fantastic!!
I also thought that the Gungan battle was fine. Finally, I want to reiterate my thought about using more footage from the battle at the start of the film for the invasion idea to open it up. Darken it to look like later in the day to kinda cover the fakeness of it a bit, dirty it up, scorches, etc., and do quick cuts, flashes, etc. like almost a montage of a fight.

It does seem weird that they would run into such an important person right away
Hmm, you do have a point there. But maybe could we find dialogue that would fit with Jar-Jar was waiting/looking for the Jedi?
